Shen Weiwan, a PhD in history, transmigrates into the body of the most overlooked concubine-born daughter in the Marquis of Zhenbei's household.
In her previous life, she was talented but showy, and met a tragic end as her family was destroyed.
Given a second life, she hides her brilliance and pretends to be timid and foolish. With her left hand, she writes books detailing trade routes, strategic passes, and the customs of towns and markets throughout the land. Her works become a sensation in the capital, but no one knows the author is a sheltered young woman born to a concubine. She makes early plans for the canal transport routes, saving her maternal family from ruin. She quietly builds up her own fortune and prepares a way out for herself and her mother.
Xie Jingxing, heir to Prince Jing, hides far-reaching plans beneath his playboy exterior. At a crabapple banquet, he sees through her gentle facade and recognizes the sharpness beneath.
What begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement and a clash between equally matched minds gradually turns into genuine affection amid undercurrents of intrigue.
From infighting in the household to commercial rivalries and political turmoil, they stand side by side and gradually carve out a world of their own.
What she wants is to win women throughout the land a chance to make a living without having to depend on anyone.
Theme: Women can also use knowledge and ingenuity to forge an independent path through the inner chambers and a troubled age, protect their loved ones, and realize their own worth.
